Description:

Legendary producer, arranger, and composer Charles Stepney (1931-1976), who also worked with Earth Wind & Fire and has been sampled and covered on numerous songs, including A Tribe Called Quest. This is his de facto debut album, a rare home-recorded release! Charles Stepney's fantastic debut album finally sees the light of day: a beloved home-recorded work, recorded on four-track tape with one person playing the instruments, and the prototype for Stepney's later masterpieces can also be heard. The pure and brilliant sound of these recordings, which were made prior to the large-scale studio production, will captivate listeners who love the music Stepney left behind, as well as provide plenty of inspiration for creators.
